version 1.0
DESCRIPTION
The LD3600-XX is a BICMOS monolithic
integrated circuit designed for use with four-terminal
Magneto-Resistive recording heads. The reader
architecture is MR current bias/voltage sense and
will support user data rates of up to 225 Mbit/sec. A
bi-directional serial port is provided to enable the
implementation of on-chip MR bias and Write
current DACs. The device provides a write driver,
low noise read amplifier, serial port controlled head
selection, servo bank write, write current, MR read
bias current, and read and write fault detection
circuitry for up to ten channels. In a servo write
servo mode, 5 or 10 channels can be selected at one
time. The device requires +5V and -5V and comes in
a 100-pin TQFP package or flip-chip die form.
